Bride of the Beast Chapter Fifty Nine
NOLA REYNOLDSThe Samoan woman was looking at me like she just won the national lottery and I was the big fat check the officials handed her.“My, what an impression you are going to make on the guests, my, an impression indeed!” Yolanda whispered cryptically, her eyes bulging as she eyed me up and down before I rolled my eyes, tired of shifting from foot to foot awkwardly.”Yolanda, yoo-hoo, eyes up here!” I groaned and the woman snapped her eyes up to me, before flashing me an amused smile, as if to say my impatience was cute but that she was still going to take her sweet, darling time.I watched exasperated as the buxom woman made odd gurgling noises in her throat as she circled me, tucking taffeta purple lace in and plucking it out in some places before her large hands settled on the exposed top of my breasts and I stifled the back-handing that had straightened my palm.“What the hell Yolanda?” I screeched, struggling to shimmy away from the u smiling woman until she snapped up he

NOLA REYNOLDSI squeezed my eyes shut, raising my hands to shield my face from the slap that never came.“Huh?” I mumbled, looking back at the blonde woman who was dressed like a geisha Cinderella to see that there was a large hand wrapped around her wrist. A hand that extended from behind me.“Y-Your H-highness-“ The woman stammered, her eyes widening to oranges in their sockets as she dropped an awkward bow and I watched with bated breath as the workers and maidens in front of us bowed as well.The heat that shot up my spine was like my back catching fire.Your Highness?The Lycan was behind me! I could feel the heat of his presence everywhere now as goosebumps collided on the exposed flesh of my back and I struggled to keep my neck straight.“What’s all the ruckus, Oliver?” The Lycan’s guttural baritone reverberated through my core, making my core tingle enough that I fought to resist the urge to lean into him. I could feel his breath warming the back of my neck, and all it took wa
Bride of the Beast Chapter Sixty One
HECTOR BAYES I hadn't been in the banquet hall for as much as three minutes before I realized I hated it.Three minutes!That was all it had taken for me to walk right into the green-eyed imp again. The slender line of her shoulders went rigid when she realized I was the one behind her. Like I was some monster!But you are Hector, forgotten our past so soon have you? A small voice nudged inside me and I preemptively tried to shake it off, but it stayed, the voice.Like poison in my marrows.I wished there was some other way to get through to the woman, but I was beginning to realize I might never be able to convince Nola Reynolds to stay.She was like that, stubborn and head-strong once she'd made up that impish mind of hers.She might be the one that gets away, and I was powerless to stop it. I couldn't watch her all the time. Not even the witch could manage that, and Ma Jules had three eyes. “Your highness, sweets for you,” A willowy elder I vaguely realized from my father’s parti

NOLA REYNOLDSI’d locked eyes with the man on the stage before his intense gray orbs fitted away from me.It was the first time I was seeing what he looked like for the party, how he cleaned up.“Beautiful isn’t he? Oh! The way he looked at me! Did you see?” Dennis’ frenzied whisper reached my ears so that I had to tamp down on an exasperated sigh.First off bitch, he was looking at me! Not your universe-sized forehead!I snapped in my head, faking a tight smile when she glanced my way when I’d already murdered the maiden fifty times in my head.There was something different about him, the Lycan. He was beautiful still, but there was a steel cast to his angular features now, the foreboding dark line around his eyelids that looked like exquisitely good Halloween makeup- and believe me, those ARE hard to come by.The crowd exploded into applause around me suddenly, snapping me out of whatever horror I’d been on the brink of discovering as the yellow and fluorescent candescence of the ba
Bride of the Beast Chapter Sixty Three
HECTOR BAYESYou could have heard a werewolf fart in the silence that followed after I had confronted the witch, starting her down until she released the maiden in her iron claws with a sullen demeanor.“This does not concern you, your highness,” The Witch announced, and a gasp floated through the crowd before the woman added, almost as an afterthought,“With all due respect. We're fine, I was just reminding the maiden of a few things, of her duties.” Ma Jules grated, narrowing her eyes at the woman who was trying to tug her hand free before I placed my hand over hers and the witch jerked away, yelping.“She attacked me Hect- Your highness! It was most definitely not okay.” Nola growled, cutting her eyes at the woman and looking pointedly at her feet.I felt the white heat of rage flood around the corners of my eyes as a guttural growl rumbled through the crowd before I realized it was coming from me and clenched my teeth to keep from biting off the hag's head.No one touched my maide

NOLA REYNOLDS.My heart hammered almost painfully in my chest when I felt Kalden’s hands leave my arm as the Lycan beast barreled toward us, and the white-faced crowd parted around the King.He was coming here! Why was he coming here?“I'll take it from here,” Hector growled, his eyes boring into the dark-haired man with such ferocity even I shrunk away a little bit.Excuse me?“I’ll see you around.” Kalden mouthed to me before he bowed to the Lycan whose gray eyes had come to rest on me now, much to my dismay.The medley of chords now sounded jumbled to my ears as I caught the odd looks that were being slyly cast our way before the Lycan stepped right up to me so that we stood shoulder to nose, the heat rolling off his frame stiffening my nipples until they were as hard as small pebbles, chaffing sweetly against my underwear.”I’m not dancing with you.” I blurted caustically, managing my meanest glare up at the man who took my hand wordlessly, forcing me back into the dancing circle
Bride of the Beast Chapter Sixty Five
HECTOR BAYESWhat I was doing, what I planned to do, as I led the woman right through the watching crowd of dignitaries and rubber-mouthed werewolves was nothing short of insane. It was batshit crazy!”Where are we going?” Nola’s frenzied whisper came from below and i looked down to see that she was watching me avidly. The salt drying on her cheeks in the frigid bite of the wind that was blowing a whistle through the sepia blackness.I hesitated, a flicker of confusion raking through my form as I paused with one leather-bound foot in front of the other.The royal throne room was the only colored building in the stone fortress. A staggering edifice of bronze and multi-colored diamonds shone oddly in the watery fluorescent of the moon.It was risky, what we were doing. Everyone had seen us leave, and if they looked for the maiden, which I suspected they would sooner than we could finish like I suspected they would, then it was only a matter of time and a good head on their shoulders bef
Bride of the Beast Chapter 66
NOLA“Shit.” Hector breathed, before marching to a stop as a cloud of ice fogged up his face and we paused in the castle foyer, the stone buildings around us looming like boogeymen in the dark.I fisted my free hand in the feathery ends of my see-through lilac ball gown, tugging the other hand that was warm in the Lycan beast’s deadlock grip.“What?” I whispered, a shiver running up my spine as I looked to see what the man had stopped to stare at.The mountain council elders. You could tell by the chunky gold rings that laced each of their stubbly fingers as one of the stout-looking skinheads threw back his great plain head to laugh at something the circle had said, the red butt of a cigarette glinting between his two fingers.They were standing in the great foyer, blocking the way to where I supposed was the mountain city’s palace. The Lycan’s throne room.A trickle of trepidation itched at my armpit as I waited on the man to make a move, my eyes catching the gleam of an upside-down
